ICBTA Info:
The Indiana College Biology Teachers’ Association is a small but enthusiastic group of Hoosier biology professors who are interested in sharing and improving multiple aspects of our teaching and our biology programs. Each year we gather at a different campus in the fall to discuss a topic of interest to the group. We traditionally invite an outside speaker for Friday evening and continue with Saturday morning workshop sessions, with brief presentations from members and discussion about our topic. After the morning session, we have a lunch and then a business meeting where officers are elected and future topics are discussed. We have a good representation from smaller campuses around the state, and would love to have even broader participation. Please consider attending this local, useful meeting!
The Indiana College Biology Teacher’s Association (ICBTA) is an organization consisting of biology faculty from throughout the state. Our mission is to support and enhance undergraduate learning in the biological sciences. All are welcome and encouraged to attend!
We hope you will join us for what promises to be a lively and informative meeting!
